Guitar players - electric strings on an acoustic

[Moodybluebird]

My father bought me a acoustic from a charity shop a few weeks ago. Haven't picked a guitar up in circa 10 years and the strings are too heavy for me. Feel like 13’s or 14’s.

Got a set of old Ernie ball 10’s upstairs - any particular reason I can’t use these?

The action is very high too so I’ve started filing down the bridge and given the truss rod a few turns too

The Ernie Ball Earthwood bronze wound strings should be fine but you can get a new set of lower gauge strings from Amazon at a reasonable price. Besides, if the strings are brighter it may encourage you to continue playing 👍
